I’ve finally gotten a new car! My 1989 Toyota 4Runner is getting rather long in the tooth, so I finally succumbed to the inevitable and upgraded. Quite pleased with my choice! These Scions are a lot of value for the money, look interesting, and are a ton of fun to drive. It’s a very practical car that doesn’t punish you for being practical the way a minivan can. I’m stoked!
I got the 5 speed manual transmission–an absolute must in my opinion for this 108hp car. Also has a cool iPod capable stereo system that lets my iPod mini charge and be controlled via the stereo controls. Talk about an uber-CD changer! Handling is surprisingly good, acceleration not too bad considering the 1.5 liter engine. The upright driving position makes it feel like the ultimate go-kart 🙂
